One big change I noticed on ObamaCare signups this week was that in 48/50 states, the private sign-up percentages (of CBO projection) have reached double digits. Most of these states, especially, the deep red ones were languishing in single digit territory. This is a BFD.

This is just the kind of B.S. this President have dealt with since he became President. Republicans who have only obstruct, sabotage, do nothing, filibuster, anything they can to damage the President and the poor and middle class. I am glad we are out of Iraq, we had no business there in the first place. Iraq wanted us out too, so our military spent enough time over there training them, so let the Iraqis take care of their country. We can’t do everything. To hell with that sorry ass speaker Boehner.

WordPress is totally screwing the simple task of enabling a Twitter-validated login. I hope that those who use WordPress will notify them of this annoyance. Chips has enough stuff to do so I don’t want the burden to be on her. Thank you and it’s way past time for me to try to get a couple of hours of sleep.

this is funny- love them both- i just wish they had stuck it to christie more. one- he’s gonna love it & two- i’m afraid the whole ‘scandal’ is going to end up being a net positive win. he’s getting a lot of attention, and it all plays into the whole ‘jersey colorful character’ thing. now that polls are showing most people outside of msnbc don’t really care, and that repubs who formerly dismissed him are now circling their wagons around him, i think he’s gonna run with it (which, admittedly, won’t be far : )
at any rate, glad you shared it, susanne! (sorry, just having one of those insomniac nights of worry!)

A woman was walking along the beach when she stumbled upon a Genie’s lamp. She picked it up and rubbed it, and lo-and-behold a Genie appeared. The amazed woman asked if she was going to receive the usual three wishes.

The Genie said, “Nope … due to inflation, constant downsizing, low wages in third-world countries, and fierce global competition, I can only grant you one wish. So … what’ll it be?”

The woman didn’t hesitate. She said, “I want peace in the Middle East. See this map? I want these countries to stop fighting with each other.”

The Genie looked at the map and exclaimed, “Gadzooks, lady! These countries have been at war for thousands of years. I’m good, but not THAT good! I don’t think it can be done. Make another wish.”

The woman thought for a minute and said, “Well, I’ve never been able to find the right man. You know, one that’s considerate and fun, likes to cook and helps with the housecleaning, is good in bed and gets along with my family, doesn’t watch sports all the time, and is faithful. That’s what I wish for … a good mate.”

The Genie let out a long sigh and said, “Let me see that fucking map!”
